Q

What is the difference between osteopenia and osteoporosis?

A

Osteopenia: less than peak bone mass, considered variation of normal

Osteoporosis: way under peak bone mass; increased risk of fracture

Q

Discuss Vitamin D function:

  • Vitamin D promotes ______ and _____ absorption in the intestines.
  • What hormone does it inhibit?
A
  • Vitamin D promotes calcium and phosphate absorption in the intestines.
  • Vitamin D inhibits PTH production in the parathyroid glands
    note: PTH induces bone resorption by reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys

Q

Which of the following causes bone resorption?

A. Vitamin D

B. PTH

A

B. PTH

Parathyroid Hormone:

  • directly increases bone resorption to increase serum calcium
  • Increases reabsorption of calcium in the kidneys and expels phosphates

note: if PTH causes bone resorption then what does hyperparathyroidism cause?
* more bone reabsorption
